After you have received your banners, you now have the task of getting them hung in the best visible, least damaging, and easiest way. No small task indeed. Before you ever receive your banners, Half Price Banners helps make this process as smooth as possible for you by first flat hemming all sides of your banner so they are durable and will not fray around the edges. Next we add, with all of our banners, small metal holes called grommets. Depending on the size of your banner, there will be at least 1 in each corner and maybe a few in the middle if you ordered a larger banner.
When you have the banner out of the box, having someone help you hang the banner will make the process much easier. If you are hanging the banner between two poles, we suggest a rope / bungee combination. Start by securing the rope to the top portion of the pole. Interlace it through the top grommets and secure the banner to second pole. Repeat with a second rope through the bottom grommets. Finish by securing 4 small bungee cords from 1 portion of the pole to one of the corner grommets. The rope gives the banner body, while the bungee allows it to flex in case the wind picks up.
If you are attaching the banner to a wall, such as in a school assembly or at a trade show, we advise using push pins to secure it to the wall. Push pins are small and will not show damage to the wall as much as screws or hooks would. Start by hanging the banner from either the far left top and bottom grommets or the far right top and bottom grommets. From there, you can stretch the banner taut and secure the top and bottom grommets on that end. Last, you can secure any center grommets that may be on the banner.
If securing the banner to the wall is not an option, Half Price Banners offers a great, reliable, and convenient alternative with Banner Stands. There are vertical stands for 2×4, 2×6, and 3×6 banners. If you have a horizontal banner, there is also a Zont Stand, which can fit banner sizes from 2×4 all the way up to 4×8. All of these stands fold down for easy storage and can be quickly popped up for trade shows or events.
